Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to underscore an issue that has actually been raised by a couple of colleagues, and that's the fact that this is remediating an unintended consequence of a previous piece of legislation.
While I certainly concur with Minister Van Loan that the request was made through House leaders, I'm wondering if there is an occasion to have the Chief Electoral Officer back to talk about some of the other legislation before us, such as Bill C-6. Maybe the chair could let him know that this is an issue that we would like to address.
I would certainly like to have the assurance of the Chief Electoral Officer that this is indeed remediating what we are trying to do and there are no other unintended foreseeable consequences before we deal with this piece of legislation.
